Bajoran national who served the Federation Starfleet before becoming a member of the Maquis resistance group. Born in 2340 and raised during the Cardassian occupation of her homeworld, Ro spent her childhoodin Bajoran resettlement camps. When she was seven years old, she was forced to watch as Cardassians tortured her father to death. As a Starfleet ensign, Ro earned numerous reprimands, and she was courtmartialed after a disastrous mission to planet Garon II in which she disobeyed orders and eight members of her U.S.S. Wellington away team were killed. Ro was subsequently imprisoned on Jaros II until her release in 2368 by Admiral Kennelly. She was released in exchange for her participation in a covert mission aboard the Enterprise-D, intended to apprehend Bajoran terrorists believed to have attacked Federation interests. Ro was instrumental in the discoveries that the attacks were actually Cardassian in origin, and that Kennelly had been acting as an agent for the Cardassians. Ro subsequently agreed to remain aboard the Enterprise-D as a crew member. Ro Laren was first seen in "Disaster" (TNG). |
